My Fairy Tale

For years I’ve been reading about people who have stepped out in crazy faith.  They would hear God and follow Him fearlessly.  No matter the circumstance they had faith in the Power that was and is greater than any in existence.  I wondered if I would truly ever posses that kind of faith…  I think if any of us are honest with ourselves we realize there are many times we crumble under the harshness of this world.  We don’t immediately lean on the Rock that we stand on.  But as I thought of this past year I realized I HAD found that Faith I was looking for!

This past year brought with it painful loss and heartache.  Though when I reflect I see the unbelievable strength I had in those circumstances. Though it wasn’t my strength in that time it was God’s!  Wow.  And when I think of my unconventional call to Honduras I see the crazy confidence I’ve had.  Even though every circumstance screamed impossibility I knew I had to go.  And as the year progressed obstacle after obstacle disappeared!

So now I’m leaving the country in one week.  God has paved a miraculous trail up to this point but I still ask for your prayers and support!  I’m not asking for a “fairy tale” ending.  I don’t want my toad to turn into a prince.   But I do want my life to bring a better one to those in Honduras.  My prayer is for God to lead me to the person in desperate need of help, to the child who has given up hope.  I don’t just want to be a teacher to the orphans but an inspiration! 

God has turned my life from an ugly toad into His beautiful child.  This is the beginning of My Fairy Tale please help me complete the end.

Stay tuned - more to come very soon!  J
